Ah, Jimmy, we hardly knew ye. Today’s launch trailer for Apex Legends Season 4: Assimilation confirms it. Forge was a bust – a well-executed bait-and-switch that just about had us considering months of hypothesis had been for naught. Rest in peace, beefcake. Respawn has confirmed that the following legend skydiving onto homicide island is stab-happy android and one-time Halloween-announcer Revenant, arriving when the following season begins on February 4th.
Revenant would possibly seem like a ghoulish Terminator, however he’s acquired the guts of an actual boy inside him. An actual, tender, bounty huntin’ boy who rapidly turns a enterprise social right into a killing ground.
I say this almost each time Respawn come out one in all these movies, however gosh, I want the game regarded half as trendy as these shorts. There’s even a fast nod in direction of Titanfall 2’s villainous android, Ash. Heartless steel killers gotta stick collectively, proper?
Forge’s inclusion was suspect from the beginning. Long-rumoured, Revenant has been circulating for a while, and official artwork for the crimson T-800 knock-off was discovered shortly after Season 4’s announcement.
Of course, a televised murderbot isn’t the one factor arriving within the games subsequent week.
